Less competition shouldn't always be illegal, but we shouldn't pretend it's good for consumers, something that the federal government is supposed to take into account today in deciding whether to grant anti-trust immunity to airline collusion.

The mom took her son to the bathroom, they were 'running up the aisle' but the boy got sick on the way to the lavatory. She took him inside, finished up, and opened the lavatory door to give the child to her husband so she could clean herself up. That's when her husband said, "come on. We have to go. They're kicking us off the plane."
